George would need to handle business first, get a win, and then maybe we can talk, as I hold all the cards.” That…

The program introduced him to subscribers outside boxing circles, giving the platform a recognizable personality to promote alongside Joshua. His target sits close to the figures Netflix released for Canelo-Crawford. The bout averaged 36.6 million global viewers from…

The Dominican challenger travels to England on October 24 to challenge Smith for the WBC light welterweight title at Utilita Arena, live on DAZN. Puello respects the champion’s ability, yet his final promise removed any friendliness from their first meeting. “There’s very few things I can say about weaknesses.
